N-acetyl-α-d-glucosamine 1-phosphate disodium (GlcNAc-1-P) is an ectopic sugar phosphate and a key intermediate in N-glycoprotein biosynthesis. N-acetyl-α-d-glucosamine 1-phosphate disodium serves as a metabolic precursor of teichoic acid and muramic acid, which are components of bacterial cell walls.

Glucosamine hydrochloride (D-Glucosamine hydrochloride) is an amino sugar and a prominent precursor in the biochemical synthesis of glycosylated proteins and lipids, is used as a dietary supplement. Glucosamine hydrochloride also is a natural constituent of glycosaminoglycans in the cartilage matrix and synovial fluid, which when administered exogenously, exerts pharmacological effects on osteoarthritic cartilage and chondrocytes.

D-Glucamine, 98% (1-Amino-1-deoxy-D-glucitol, 98%) is an amino sugar derivative that serves as an excipient in pharmaceutical formulations. D-Glucamine, 98% also acts as a substrate for studies investigating sugar transporter pathways

3-O-Methyl-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine is a potent inhibitor of N-acetylglucosamine kinase. 3-O-Methyl-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine potently inhibits glucose phosphorylation by N-acetylglucosamine kinase whereas glucokinase is not at all affected by this hexosamine.

D-Glucosamine 6-phosphate (sodium) (GlcN6P-Na) is a class of biochemical reagents used in glycobiology research. Glycobiology studies the structure, synthesis, biology, and evolution of sugars. It involves carbohydrate chemistry, enzymology of glycan formation and degradation, protein-glycan recognition, and the role of glycans in biological systems. This field is closely related to basic research, biomedicine, and biotechnology.

N-Acetyl-α-D-glucosamine is a biochemical assay reagent.

D-​Glucosamic acid is an endogenous metabolite.

Glucosamine 6-sulfate (GlcN6P) is an organic cofactor that splits phosphodiester bonds. Glucosamine 6-sulfate plays a variety of catalytic roles in glmS ribozymes.

Fructosyl-lysine (Fructoselysine) dihydrochloride is an amadori glycation product from the reaction of glucose and lysine by the Maillard reaction. Fructosyl-lysine dihydrochloride is the precursor to glucosepane, a lysine–arginine protein cross-link that can be an indicator in diabetes detection.

Glucosamine sulfate potassium chloride is an amino sugar and a prominent precursor in the biochemical synthesis of glycosylated proteins and lipids, is used as a dietary supplement. Glucosamine sulfate potassium chloride also is a natural constituent of glycosaminoglycans in the cartilage matrix and synovial fluid, which when administered exogenously, exerts pharmacological effects on osteoarthritic cartilage and chondrocytes.

Fructose-arginine, an amino-sugar, is an AIM2 inflammasome activation inhibitor. Fructose-arginine attenuates the secretion of IL-1β, IL-18, and caspase-1, and Asc pyroptosome formation and Gsdmd cleavage resulting from AIM2 inflammasome activation.

N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine 6-sulfate (sodium) is a class of biochemical reagents used in glycobiology research. Glycobiology studies the structure, synthesis, biology, and evolution of sugars. It deals with carbohydrate chemistry, glycan formation and degradation enzymology, protein-glycan recognition, and the role of glycans in biological systems. The field is closely related to basic research, biomedicine and biotechnology.

α-D-Glucosamine pentaacetate (2-Acetamido-1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-α-D-glucopyranose) can be used in glycobiology research.

Ac4-5SGlcNAc is an O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) inhibitor. Ac4-5SGlcNAc converts intracellularly to UDP-5SGlcNAc, which competes with native UDP-GlcNAc (HY-148596) to block OGT catalytic activity, reduces cellular UDP-GlcNAc pools, and limits global protein O-GlcNAcylation. Ac4-5SGlcNAc reduces OGA levels via feedback, alters lectin signal intensities and glycan-related band masses. Ac4-5SGlcNAc can be used for the research of breast cancer.
